Due to weather conditions all buses will leave today at 2:55 PM all other students will be dismissed at 3 PM
According to new ESSA guidelines, each school must have a way to assess student progress throughout school. The Powers Lake school would like to use the ACT test, which all juniors take, instead of the North Dakota State Assessment which our sophomore class now takes to measure our progress for high school students. In order to do this we must give opportunity for community feed back. If you do not agree with our school making this change please call the school (7014645432) or email Mr. Wisthoff at seth.wisthoff@k12.nd.us to let us know your concerns. Thank you and have a great weekend!
